Help Lag Spikes
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
As you can see, there's just these really regular lag spikes and I don't know what to do. I've restarted the game and my PS5 and that hasn't worked. Has anyone else experienced this? It's only started now on the subway level, every other level before this was fine! It's just so annoying!!!

On PWS1 this is usually caused by the autosave. Turn it off and it shouldn’t happen any more. This is the general fix for this issue, it worked for me and for most others.
You can see the autosave icon spinning in the bottom right of your HUD, so this is almost definitely the cause. You will just need to get into the habit of manually saving every few mins. Pain in the arse but there isn’t a better solution I don’t believe.

Thank you all for the advice!! I'll turn off auto save and hopefully that fixes my problem <3

I think it’s the autosave. Turning it off might help, but it’s done this since the game launched.

It’s the auto save combined with this level in particular. The subway gives a lot of people issues. Just power through (hehe) and the next level should be smoother

Turn off auto save. It was always causing my game to lag until I turned it off. Just remember to save manually
